On 6 September 2022, RAID: Shadow Legends rolled out update 6.00 — one of the biggest patches of the year. It introduced the Awakening and Blessings system for champions, opened a brand-new dungeon called the Iron Twins Fortress, added six new champions and released skins for Scyl of the Drakes. Here is a quick breakdown of what changed and who benefits most.
What's new
- Awakening and Blessings: champions gain a new progression layer — Awakening unlocks Blessings that add extra effects in battle.
- Iron Twins Fortress: a new dungeon with its own encounter mechanics.
- Six new champions joined the roster.
- Skins for Scyl of the Drakes.
What it means for players
Awakening and Blessings are a long-term goal rather than a quick fix: they add another layer on top of a champion's build, so planning a roster becomes deeper. Beginners should treat the system as something to grow into — get the fundamentals first, like campaign progress, solid gear sets and basic artifacts, before chasing Awakening levels.
The Iron Twins Fortress is fresh content aimed at players who already have stable team compositions; clan players and PvE-focused accounts will want to learn its mechanics so they don't waste runs. PvP players benefit indirectly, since Blessings open new combinations for both offence and defence in Live Arena. The Scyl of the Drakes skins, meanwhile, are purely cosmetic and don't touch balance.
